-t, that is really stressful. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

At least my department is sad to see me go. That's comforting. And, hey, day off to process. Which I think might require wine.

Oh no, t!! Paycut would suck, how bad would "new location" be? Could you take it while looking for other jobs?

Wine is a good idea.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorry you have to deal with that, -t. Wine sounds like a good idea.

Epic, I am so sorry for your loss.
-t, argh. I echo Scola's "Capitalism, oh man."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ugh, -t

Capitalism fucking sucks. Can we just move on already? It's had its chance.
New location is Vallejo, driving commute would go from 7 minutes to 24 (with no traffic. I don't know what traffic is like) still no crossing bridges, transit goes from 35 minutes to 1:45 (by way of El Cerrito del Norte which is strange but would actually have some advantages). A not insignificant chunk out of my budget either way. Maybe I can find a carpool. The grounds in Vallejo are nicer, but the neighborhood is worse, but security is tighter.
I'll probably take the transfer. Next June I get my 5 year jacket and additional vacation time, which I would like. I think I will ask to make the job title Accounting/Financial Analyst or some such rather than Accounting Analyst as the job description currently reads. More accurate and will serve me better longterm. I can certainly do the job and having something new to learn is not terrible. Was planning to make my lifestyle more austere anyway.
A not trivial part of me wants to just bail and sow chaos as there is a lot of shit only I know how to do and fuck the corporation, but it's my coworkers who would bear the immediate brunt of that and it really would be better for me to have Financial Analyst on my resume. Sigh.

That's a big additional chunk out of your day for less money. I sure hope you can at least get a more useful title out of it, -t.
